This key text acts as a guidebook for those seeking to develop their role as teachers in contemporary universities. Offering a timely and original perspective on teaching, it invites readers to rethink their role and embrace the transformative potential of education.Drawing on the authors’ extensive experience and informed by higher education research, the book reimagines meaningful teaching through three transformative perspectives. Firstly, it challenges the traditional view of teaching as an individual act, instead framing it as a relational and situated practice, built on connections with others. Secondly, it explores teaching as an affirmative and emotional endeavour that can inspire others and lead to joyful and generative moments of connection. Lastly, it positions teaching as a critical practice, where educators embrace uncertainty, question assumptions, and evolve their approaches. These ideas are interwoven with practical insights into contemporary areas of practice, including assessment, feedback, digital education, artificial intelligence, learning design, belonging and inclusion, to develop ethical and relational pedagogic approaches.Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is ideal for current and aspiring higher education teachers.

This book examines the importance of exploring the varied and diverse perspectives of student experiences. In both academic institutions and everyday discourse, the notion of the ‘student voice’ is an ever-present reminder of the importance placed upon the student experience in Higher Education: particularly in a context where the financial burden of undertaking a university education continues to grow. The editors and contributors explore how notions of the ‘student voice’ as a single, monolithic entity may in fact obscure divergence in the experiences of students. Placing so much emphasis on the ‘student voice’ may lead educators and policy makers to miss important messages communicated – or consciously uncommunicated – through student actions. This book also explores ways of working in partnership with students to develop their own experiences. It is sure to be of interest and value to scholars of the student experience and its inherent diversity.
